The shirt thing reminded me of something a AMF guy told me when I was a teenager in bible college in the late 70's. He said he was at an AMF meeting and in the sea of white shirts there was one preacher with an orange one on. When he spoke he said "If I had come here to be seen I would have worn a white shirt!". For some reason I found that really funny.
Years later I thought of that story when I visited a AMF (actually the successor to the AMF) General Conference or whatever they call their annual meeting here in Middle Tennessee after having lunch with Elders Epley and Groce. Elder Epley was the liberal at that meeting as he was wearing a brown suit in a sea of black ones!!!!

I know you were joking, but the line he set was important to him, and I took it very seriously at the time. Bishop was young when he was my pastor. Perhaps age/maturity has caused him to see that some things are not worth the battle.
At any rate, I respected him then, and even more now.
